Shorter slur in GC

Longer slur in FE (→EE) & GE2

No slur in GE1

The second R.H. slur in GC encompasses only two crotchets, which certainly exemplifies numerous inaccuracies committed by the copyist in notating slurs. The slur was omitted in GE1 (cf. bars 212-214), and reinstated in GE2 as a three-note-long one, analogous to the neighbouring slurs.
